Time for Love #15

Charlton's Time for Love #15 captures the bittersweet complexity of romance in a collage-style cover by Leandro Sesarego, weaving together several vignettes — a beachside couple in swimwear, a dark-haired woman in a miniskirt and boots facing a man in red, and a tender kissing scene underscored by the melancholy thought bubble: "I'm living in a fool's paradise… soon Lola will be back and this will all be over forever…" The featured story, "In Safe Keeping," promises the kind of emotionally charged storytelling that made Charlton's romance line a satisfying read in 1970. If you're in the mood for heartfelt drama with a distinctly late-'60s/early-'70s flair, this one delivers.
